The party will not have a President, Vice President or General Secretary, but will have only a national convenor who will be elected by the national executive.The Constitution of the party was also adopted at the meeting. A 30-member national executive will be the party’s highest decision-making body.

The Congress objected to the choice of the party’s name, saying the slogan of “aam aadmi” has long been linked to the Congress.

“The ‘aam aadmi’ has been synonymous with the Congress party since 1885. Nobody can hijack the intrinsic relation between Congress and the ‘aam aadmi’,” information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari said on Saturday.

In reply to the claims made by the Congress, Kejriwal said that Congress’ hand was never with the aam aadmi of the country.
